INTRODUCING PPG COPPER ARMOR^™

EPA REGISTERED ANTI-VIRAL AND ANTI-BACTERIAL* PAINT

PPG Copper Armor is an innovative interior coating that uses Corning^® Guardiant^® copper technology to continuously kill viruses and bacteria^ on the painted surface within 2 hours of exposure for up to 5 years. This premium paint provides an extra layer of protection for commercial spaces and homes alike. Copper Armor leverages copper, a naturally-occurring element, to help keep interior surfaces clean from disease-causing agents including Staph, MRSA, E Coli and Sars CoV-2.

State Registrations as of 5.10.2022

Our EPA Journey

Copper Armor™ received national EPA registration on October 4, 2021. The next step is to work with each state to receive EPA registration at the state level. To the left is a map showcasing our progress. Once a state has registered Copper Armor, it will become dark blue. We will keep this map up to date as we move through the state registrations.
